Not to mention the changes on desired retros in the past few years isnt something new. How quickly people forgot the Black/Met Silver Vs from a few years ago. They had a 23 on the side, Jumpman on the back, and blueish sole, and dim 3M. They STILL sold out fast
da OG PE had 23 on da side too....so it wasn't a reach....and da materials stayed durabuck...da JB was w/e but material was key.
these aren't gonna sell fast in NYC, people are still smarting over da space jams.
my point was that people knew about the dim 3M tounge (which doesnt shine nearly as bright as the 2000 Vs) and still bought anyways.
people complained about the face on the side of the Mars IVs and still bought anyways.
History repeats itself and these are still going to sell. Why? Because people who didnt get the Space Jams will cop these as a consulation. And the average person cant afford to spend 400+ dollars on real Infrareds. Its unfair to actually compare this shoe to real Infrareds because its more of a re-imagining that a true retro. Collectors should be glad because it protects the integrity and value of the previous retro. Kind of how Midnight 6s were a reimagining of Sport Blue 6s.
